1123. Verse 8. For this, in one day shall her plagues come, death, and mourning, and famine, and she shall be burned in the fire; for strong is the Lord God that judgeth her.
"For this in one day shall her plagues come," signifies because they are of such a quality, that their last state is at hand, and then destruction; "death, and mourning, and famine," signifies while there is no longer any good or any truth, but only evil and falsity; "and she shall be burned in the fire," signifies, that because these things are from a diabolical love they will perish; "for strong is the Lord God that judgeth her," signifies by means of the Last Judgment.
